ICDM is really the basis of the evolution of all sectors – its contribution to the Ontario economy is immense. Ontario Centres of Excellence’s (OCE) goal in focusing on the ICDM sector is to help support the development of ICDM as a sector in its own right and to help it to integrate with economic sectors where it is not yet ubiquitous. By fostering collaboration between key economic stakeholders — academics, industrialists, and government agencies — OCE promotes multiplatform, multidisciplinary and multimedia convergence as a means to develop Ontario’s leadership and global competitive advantage.
